TK1391 IST - BOD was performed as a direct flight
It was a very smooth flight. We riding wel at F370/390.
Mostly CPDLC cover was effectively used in Europe Air Space except Zagreb, Belgrade. CPDLC operational services between ATC and flight crew are available above FL195 within Bordeaux, Brest, Marseille, Paris and Reims ACC airspace. Logon from FANS1/A or non-PM CPDLC capable aircraft will not be accepted.
For example Airbus A380 and Boeing 787 have FANS-1/A capability.
Holding procedures comply with Jeppesen ATC-Chapter "Flight Procedures (DOC 8168).
Approach
Instrument approach procedures are based on the PANS-OPS Document 8168. As SRTAR LMG 9L was performed. Get some short cuts from ATC.
AIRPORT OPERATING MINIMUMS
The operational minimums published on French non-precision approach charts have been determined based on the assumption that these approaches are flown using the CDFA flight technique.
Generally speaking CDFA is a technique, consistent with stabilized approach procedures, for flying the final approach segment of a non-precision instrument approach procedure as a continuous descent, without level-off, from an altitude/height at or above the final approach fix altitude/height to a point approximately 15 m (50 ft) above the landing runway threshold or the point where the flare manoeuvre should begin for the type of aircraft flown.
To avoid descending below the MDA(H) in case of a Missed Approach, France State authority recommends to add following mean vertical margins to the published MDA(H) to use it as a DA(H)
These margins, however, are not considered necessary by France State authority, if it is ensured that all 3 criteria below are fulfilled:
a. the Visual Segment Surface (VSS) is not penetrated by an obstacle;
b. protection of the initial missed approach complies with ICAO recommended rules;
c. the MAP is located at or after the runway threshold.
